Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The initial setup was straightforward. With configuration, customizing or prepping the data and deployment, it took about one year to set up. We only needed two people to deploy and maintain the solution: one business architect and someone who specializes in customization and operations.""MEGA offers a more integrated GRC platform to facilitate enhanced coordination between the functions of Risk, Compliance, and Internal Audit on a single platform solution - HOPEX.""The solution is scalable. If a company needs to expand it, it's completely possible to do so.""The most valuable feature for this solution is the automatic updating and propagation of changes across the system.""This is a complete package with all of the functionality that we need.""We have many use cases for this solution but the feature I have found most valuable is the IT Portfolio Management module.""We use the portfolio management feature heavily.""HOPEX has a panel that offers various views. I think that is very good. MEGA has an app for integrating with a lot of apps. We help our clients integrate HOPEX with a different product like Apple Gateway, for example. I've been with the company for 15 years, and we connect with everything. Our clientele includes almost all of the banks in Mexico."

More MEGA HOPEX Pros →

"The best features are the scalability and flexibility to implement applications on top of the BW.""Initial setup was straightforward. It took maybe one week.""It is wonderful from the control perspective. The GRC tools help you in knowing what are the risk controls, how to mitigate risks, and how to ensure that there are no conflicts between the roles. From the user perspective, you get to know what are the permission risks and access risks. You get a lot of useful information.""The tool helps create reports for projects, including the creation of any ad-hoc reports""We have enterprise clients for the product."

Cons
"The features are limited. I'm hoping in the future the solution will be bigger and include more items. Right now, overall, it needs more.""Better documentation and training would be helpful.""Needs a friendlier import/export to other modeling tools.""The product must improve integration with other tools.""Standardization is lacking. The Operational Risk Function will be more effective if it at a default level follows established Basel standards for Loss categorization, Risk Assessments, Risk Event categorization, etc.""I would like to see more regular updates released.""We have a very close relationship with MEGA representatives in Mexico, and we ask them why they don't offer impact analysis. For example, we have a server in the center and provide the client a view of what's in the peripheral area, like one cluster, application, process area, and services. We want to offer our clients that level of visibility with HOPEX.""The tool's UI should be more user-friendly."

More MEGA HOPEX Cons →

"I think the old system is better than the new one. From an improvement perspective, the tool needs to ensure that the new technologies it offers are better than the old ones.""BusinessObjects is very dated. It is not that user-friendly. It should be made more user-friendly. In addition, if they could make predictive analytics an embedded part of it where people get to know what is there to offer, it would be great.""Technical support could be better and faster.""We cannot actively log in to the system. It should also improve support.""An additional feature I would like to see is the option to add wait time and integrate sources in wait time."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "If you want to use additional features, such as the Risk Management capability, then it is a little too expensive."
  • "It is very expensive."
  • "The price of the MEGA HOPEX license could improve, it is expensive. The license key for business process analysis and IT architecture is approximately €10,000. This price is fixed, it's not a subscription or cloud-based version. It is a one-time price."
  • "The price of the support depends on the vendors that are reselling this module or the MEGA HOPEX version 5. We are on premium support and are their only partners in the GCC, we have a premium support contract with them. The support we have is not with the client. The client does not bear the cost, it's us who bear the cost."
  • "I've been told that MEGA HOPEX is very expensive, which is why small organizations dismiss the tool. It's complex and costly versus other simpler and cheaper solutions."
  • "The product has a high cost."
  • "The tool is relatively expensive."
  • "The pricing depends on the number of licenses purchased."
  • More MEGA HOPEX Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The license is costly."
  • "There is a yearly licensing cost. I would rate their pricing 4 out of 5."
  • "SAP BusinessObjects GRC is expensive."
  • "The product's licensing costs involve a one-time purchase. The tool also allows others to make annual payments towards the licensing charges of the product."

    Reviews from Real Users

    Below are some reviews and helpful feedback written by PeerSpot users currently using the MEGA HOPEX solution.

    PeerSpot user Kayode A., Enterprise Architecture Consultant at ZealHosts Consulting, says, “What I find the most valuable is the process workflow. It is really good. The fact that you can decompose is also valuable, as is the file D structure. Also, the fact that you can have your own logical repository structure and you can drag and drop is very valuable. This is largely because of its intuitiveness. Once you understand the logic behind the tool, MEGA HOPEX is quite intuitive. I also like the ability to create custom reports. I like the fact that you can share repository content via web to other end users who are not architects.”

    A Software Architect at a transportation company mentions, “The main feature that we like the most is the ability to have a unique repository where all the architects can interact and play together with the shapes of different architecture solutions. They have a unified repository where users can share the developments they're working on. Its availability is very good.” 

    An IT Consulting Manager at a tech services company comments, "We have many use cases for this solution but the feature I have found most valuable is the IT Portfolio Management module."

    SAP GRC helps you automatically detect, remediate, and prevent access risk violations - no matter the industry or business size. Get real-time visibility into your current risk position, and confidently reduce unauthorized access, fraud, and the cost of compliance.
